Can you one page it for us? I know you can, but will you? Sounds interesting, but I am not going to read it.

The correspondence between Khomiakov and Palmer on Orthodoxy and the problems the latter had with it. Most, if not all, of the Khomiakov-quotes Abp. Kallistos Ware uses in his books come from this little work. "All Protestants are Crypto-Papists" for example.

In Money, Greed, and God, Jay Richards argues against the current dualistic view Christianity has cast on capitalism—all good or all evil—and reveals the surprising ways that capitalism is actually the best way to follow Jesus’s mandates to alleviate poverty and protect our earth.

I'll write a book where I'm gonna argue that sleeping around is the best way to fulfill Jesus mandates on chastity. Hope you'll write me a check.

All the malladies of "capitalism" that most people criticize comes from market and government working together. Officializing this cohabitation with a marriage would just make things worse in my opinion.

Separation of state and market is the answer. Now, to give all the powers of state to the guys with the big money or all the control of the big money to the state? They are basically the same thing *and* the solution anti-capitalists seem to think is morally correct. Capitalism and/or classical liberalism = separation of market and state, which follows in the grand tradition of separation of powers, subsidiarity of governance, separation of state and government, split of large concentrated goverment into federated local smaller governments, separation of emperor and bishop, of goverment and the military, of state and the people and so on. The key is to not let any single group to centralize too much power or to have too much control, which allows for checks and balances. The progress of social governance is, again in my opinion, the progress of descentralization of powers of all kinds: military, economic, political, cultural, scientific, religious.

You can say I'm an a&$@ or a d&$$!'l. I don't care. But to your armchair spiritual direction I can only add adjectives not allowed on this forum. Feel free to add them for me.

Now that Father Brown is over, I'm dipping into some children's books. I still have a couple of World Book Day specials I haven't read yet, and with the young one unwell, there is always more storytime, be it Mr Men or Funnybones.

'Cracked, why psychiatry is doing more harm than good', by James Davies (Kindle edition) An eye opening account of how the psychiatric profession determines 'Psychiatric conditions' and the poor science behind much of this and things might want to know about the efficacy or otherwise of drugs used to trap treat these conditions.

Please let us know your thoughts on it once you've finished it.

It was pretty good. At times it is influenced by Latin theology (especially on original sin) but the rest is good. Not for those who don't like systematic theology, though.

I don't think I've ever seen such a posive review of that book. I see you've yet to learn much about Orthodoxy until you can be chrismated baptized. Perhaps you can start by practicing angry face in front of a mirror. If that feels hard, try thinking some abominations like pews or beardless men.

Wow! That's cool because I just started reading "Everyday Saints." And I have the CD version of "On the Prayer of Jesus" which I have listened to many times.

Christ is Risen brother!

Selam

Indeed, He is Risen! Let me know what you think of Everyday Saints. And since listening to On the Prayer of Jesus, have you been able to concentrate on the Jesus Prayer more? In other words, did it help?

Why do some Orthodox Churches have pews if they are an abomination? An abomination is something that leads one to eternal damnation in hell.

[hyperdox] And what did you think pews do? [/hyperdox]

Pews enable one to sit down.

True, but they hinder movement, prostrations and are alien, rather like that other abomination the organ, surely?

You have an argument with some of your Orthodox Churches which have both pews and organs. I asked the wife of the priest at the local Orthodox Church as to why they use the organ in Church and she said that it was only to insure that people were singing on the correct key.
